Framed Original “Winnie” VANITY FAIR PRINT

Description

An exceedingly rare original print of this legendary caricature of young Winston Churchill, as published in Vanity Fair magazine in March 1911, drawn by the noted illustrator Frederick Drummond Niblett (1861-1928), whose nome de plume was “Nibs.”

From 1868 to 1914, Vanity Fair published over 2,300 lithographic caricatures of the dominant figures in British society; politicians, royalty, peers, bishops and socialites, as well as lions of the arts, science and sport. This virtually mint example (14 1/2 x 9 inches) of one the most memorable of all Vanity Fair caricatures has been matted and framed in gilt-edged black lacquer (17 x 22 1/2 inches overall). There is a small chip to the upper left corner of the frame, else fine.
